PowerHA Gui remediation

we need support to remediate the following vulnerability report HA GUI clients

SSL Certificate with Wrong Hostname

RFE opened based on support recommendation , please see support update below

Unfortunately, the approach of generating new set of security files won't be an accurate solution as our existing security system is not designed to handle this approach. As per our existing design, GUI server generates a common SSL Certificate for all agent nodes and sends to all the agents while discovering cluster on GUI. So, all the agent nodes will always have a SSL certificate with server IP as Common Name(CN) instead of agent IP which Nessus tool will keep flagging in the scan.

We have tried our best to provide a re-mediation for this vulnerability but it looks like we would have to change the complete security design implementation that can only be done on a release boundary.
